Adopt a Solider

Several customers had a terrific idea in regards to sending stamping items to Olena Ferguson. Olena is stationed in Iraq. She requested that we adopt a solider, I thought it would be nice if we would adopt her.
Olena's requests were simple. Stamping stuff, and air freshners.
I'm sure she wouldn't mind some girly stuff too! Chapstick, hand cream, body lotion etc.

We'll have a box at the shop where you can drop in anything you'd like to send Olena, and a donation towards the shipping.
For example, Marlene Phillips was in last week, she bought a clear alphabet stamp and acrylic blocks for Olena, and donated $2 towards the shipping of the box. You can donate your handmade cards for the troops as well, and Olena will distribute them to the soliders in her troop.

Thanks for the great idea Patti, Jane, Marlene and Pat.

By the way 2 of our stampers, Pat and Jan have already sent Olena items on their own. Very thoughtful!

Here is Olena's address in case you'd like to drop her a card:
Olena Fergurson
DCMA-SI
APO, AE 09342
